That looks like an invocation using rsyncd; which I would avoid. The time to
use rsyncd is when backing up Windows, because cygwin ssh+rsync is buggy and
doesn't work.

Keep in mind that BackupPC has both:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';

You should use 'rsync' for your XferMethod unless there's a really good
reason. 


Thank you Carl, Bowie and Les for your answers. The main advantage I saw using 
rsyncd, is in the fact that the command line can be much simplified and the 
include and exclude options can reside in the rsyncd.conf file. But I finally 
rallied Carls advice (see also

 and it works.
